IS MY DONATION TAX-DEDUCTIBLE?
Yes. And even if you don't itemize on your tax return, you can take a deduction. Ask your tax-preparer or accountant for specific information.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DESIGNATED AND UNDESIGNATED GIFTS?
A designated gift restricts your gift to a specific 501(c)(3) Clinton County funded organization. An undesignated gift takes advantage of United Way’s thorough, research-based program selection that gets the money to the issues and areas that need it most in our community. This allows you to help the most people and do the most good for our entire community. An undesignated gift to United Way allows you to help more people than a gift to a single agency could. Our community’s problems are interrelated and only United Way’s diversity of programs work to address the interrelated and complex causes of poverty in a way that no single agency can.
I DON'T BENEFIT, SO WHY SHOULD I GIVE?
You, a family member, friend or coworker may have already used the services of United Way partner agencies without realizing it. We all win when children succeed in school, when families are financially stable and when people have good health. When you support United Way, you help build a better life for us all.
